Hi,

I have a two-node cluster here. My primary now rebooted and lost his
disk (intended, no need to worry).

Now the primary was in state "diskless", but still primary and
seconday was UptoDate.

I wanted to make the secondary now the new primary with "drbdadm
primary drbd0" but it refused to do so because the primary was still
reachable by ping and network as well drbd service was running.

I had to shut down the primary so network connection was lost and then
I was able to set this node to primary.

Can someone explain why this is the case? I mean if the primary is in
"diskless" state why does he refuse to hand over the primary state?


Greetings

Christian
